TJ Marshall was born into a crime family where love came with rules, money came with blood on it, and grief got handled behind tinted windows.
The Marshall name means power. Respect bought in cash and fear. TJ was raised to inherit it all, and he knows exactly what people expect from him when his little brother Cairo is gunned down outside a family repast.
They expect war.
His mother wants blood. His uncle wants revenge. The streets blame a rival crew. Everybody keeps pointing TJ in the same direction, which tells him one thing.
Somebody rehearsed the lie.
When Cairo leaves behind proof that their family's youth foundation has been used to move dirty money, TJ realizes his brother's murder came from closer than the block. A rival may have sent flowers, but the real betrayal sat at the family table, ate off the same plates, and cried over the same casket.
Now TJ has to choose between protecting the Marshall empire and exposing the person who used his father's name, his mother's signature, and his brother's blood to keep the money moving.
In his world, revenge usually ends with a body.
This time, TJ wants the truth alive long enough to testify.
Hood Rich is a fast-paced urban crime drama about family betrayal, revenge, grief, loyalty, street power, and one man's fight to burn down the lie before it buries everyone he loves.
